Isn't it madness already?

It must be…
I went to see the annual event called ”the Gifts of Earth”. I hadn’t been there for a few years since the event was moved to another place, a bit far from my home. Actually at it’s beginning this event concerned all the fresh farm produce that men can collect during early autumn. Nowadays I think it is changing into the artisans’ show and a one big picnic. Which is not that bad after all, but it has less and less in common with it’s title.
Anyway, back to my title: is it still normal that I am taking below photos thinking like this:
Don’t they just look like Katie’s? Wonder if they had seen them on her blog before they got that idea….

These remind me of Nikki and all the Ladies that celebrate Halloween….


Ohhhh, Sans just might like to see ours, I think…



Wasn’t it Bozse that talked about pepper sometime ago?

This skill I really have to learn, will make my own for my mini Friends and myself..


And this could be useful for some shabby chic Lovers

Or this for me, when I decide to make something rusty

Oh, a mini-house – who cares it is for bees anyway?;)

I wonder could they be used in a mini garden?


Yes, I think it is a madness, or at least not normal. Be happy I didn’t decide to put all the photos I took here…;)

To chyba jakies ciężkie szaleństwo, byłam na Darach Ziemi i wszystko kojarzyło mi się z blogowym swiatem miniatur....;)

Haha Ewa!


You know something funny? I saw your pictures before the words because the loading of your background is slower on my comp (it comes up white 1st which masked your white words) and you know what was running through my mind?

Birdhouses- mercedes + katies
pumpkins-ahh, Kiva , Bosze etc
baskets-----ooooooooooooooooooooh!
Dollhouse- I wonder if Ewa bought this one ?

I must congratulate you on the photos. You are getting better and better with every post.

This post really made me laugh, yes we're probably all mad because I'm there are a lot of us who think like this from time to time. The birdhouses are gorgeous, so colourful. And I would love to have one (or two!!) of those baskets. Thanks for sharing :)

BiWuBär said...

As far as I am concerned this isn't madness at all, I would regard that as totally normal... ;O) Thank you for this really funny post!

Greetings
